[Bleeeeep!] is right!
How can Jay and wdfw keep their heads in the sand like that? The east coast has had them for 200 years, willapa for 62, Oregon Harvests 12,000 TONS a year and already has an irradication policy with the public working for free.... but WA seems to want to re-invent the wheel by wasting $9 million for studies where data must already exist. And that's just the first round.

Why can't data be gleaned from OR and other programs via zoom, and get on with it! But noooooooo.... let's study it for xx years while green crab multiply, adapt, and damage habitat and native species.

Hint: "Invasive" is never good.

Anyway, perhsps we can lead and help with the problem. Learn to ID here:
